skipping learning story

For the past few weeks we have been learning how to make a skipping routine. We had to watch some other kids so we could get some ideas of how to move around and how to make different actions with the skipping rope. Then we got put into groups. In our groups we had to talk about what moves we already knew how to do and what ones we could learn, we also talked about what are some special moves that only one or two people could do. Then we started on our skipping routines.

After about one week of trying to make a skipping routine we had some groups share what they and made. Some groups were still having trouble trying to a routine. Sometimes we got to have some free time. The next week we added some music to our routines. That made it was more interesting. But we still had to work out the timing that would work with the music and our routine.

I think my group was really good at trying to add new moves in to our dance by putting in moves that the other groups did not put in. I think my group was really good at trying to learn new moves by trying new moves that we have not done before.

Think that my group was really good at not giving up when we are trying to learn new moves and we would just keep practicing to get it right.

I think my group needs to work on trying to stay focused on our task and not doing anything random like not going and doing whatever skipping we want.I think my group needs to work on trying to do our routine properly when we are performing it to people by not being shy and not  mucking around.
